About the episode
People can queue for hours for Taylor Swift’s latest album, but no one likes to really delve into their own pension. Why is it that people rarely access the information from their pension fund? What can pension funds do to create better involvement among participants? And: Will the new pension law bring about any changes?
Our guest is Jenna Barret, researcher into financial behavior and choices at Tilburg University. Presenter Thomas van Zijl asks her…
- why people prefer not to worry about their pension;
- why the Netherlands has the largest pension gap between men and women in Europe;
- what pension funds can do to increase participant involvement.
